Cellular debris is primarily formed through processes such as necrosis and apoptosis. Necrosis is a form of traumatic cell death that results from acute cellular injury. This leads to the uncontrolled release of cellular components into the extracellular space, causing inflammation and damage to surrounding tissues. In contrast, apoptosis is a programmed cell death mechanism that allows cells to die in a controlled manner without causing harm to neighboring cells. During apoptosis, cellular components are packaged into membrane-bound vesicles called apoptotic bodies, which are then phagocytosed by nearby cells.
